Introduction</font></b></p>
<blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#CCCCFF"><b><i>&quot;In the 13th Century AE, 
mankind had expanded and colonized most of the Galaxy. A sprawling Empire ruled 
the colonized worlds and a period of peace ensued that lasted several centuries. 
During this time the Empire grew decadent and independent Lords craftily hoarded 
resources and built up secret military forces.&nbsp; The Star Lords convened on 
the Eve of the Galactic Solstice, and set the date for their combined assault on 
the decaying centralized Imperial Navy. The resulting battle was brutal but 
swift, and the Imperial forces were totally eliminated in just under 20 years.&nbsp; 
Now that their mission was accomplished, the common goal that bound them no 
longer existed. The Star Lords turned on each other's territories, and the Age 
of Solar Vengeance began.&quot; - </i></b></font>
<font face="Verdana" size="1" color="#CCCCFF">Lord Venom</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Solar Vengeance puts you in the role of one of 
the Star Lords, seeking to expand your territory at the expense of your 
neighboring Lords. The Empire has just been crushed, and the nearby independent 
Worlds are ripe for the picking. You must guard your Capital StarSystem while 
you expand your territory, and ultimately conquer your enemies' Capitals.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">You gain Resources by conquering StarSystems, 
the higher the StarSystem Value, the more quickly it generates Resources.&nbsp; 
With these Resources, you build WarShips and other StarShip types as you expand 
your territory and conflict with neighboring Star Lords.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Solar Vengeance 5 is also a programming 
laboratory.&nbsp; You can create your own unique Scenario and computer Brain 
players using the Microsoft C# programming language.&nbsp; Your Scenarios and 
Brains are compiled directly in the game client and integrate seamlessly.</font></p>
